Poor Adam Schiff. The House Intelligence Committee chairman was trying to maintain a show of law and order and professionalism and such and such -- but Reps. Jim Jordan and Elise Stefanik kept interrupting him with calls for points of order.
Nancy Pelosi, amid the largely laughable testimony of the diplomats, came out with her own laughable conclusion of all that hearsay testimony and said: President Trump has admitted to bribery. Who knew Pelosi, at her advanced age, could perform so many contortions? This has to be the greatest acrobatic spin in political history.
Who's to blame for our illegal immigration problems? Who's to blame for the American communities that are suffering from rampant crime, cartel violence, social and language problems in schools, drained health care and welfare systems, and drugs and gang activity in many parts of the country? There are several parties to blame.
So former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg have thrown their hats in the 2020 presidential ring ("Former Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick enters 2020 presidential race," Web, Nov. 14). My reaction to the first candidate is, Who are you? My reaction to candidate number two is, Are you stupid?
Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have joined forces and unveiled another facet of their Green New Deal that will supposedly make sure every man, woman and child has suitable housing -- the best that taxpayers can pay for, anyway. Here's a partnership of loons.
Robert Harris' "The Second Sleep" is evidence of the anxiety of our time, and worth reading and thinking about for that reason.
"Climate migrants" are defined as those individuals in the world who've suffered some sort of weather-related disaster and are, therefore, in the eyes of the left, in the minds of radicals like Sen. Bernie Sanders, are worthy of automatic entry into the United States. Well, there's a large pool of people for ya.
The main question on everyone's mind Saturday won't be "Can he play?" -- it's "Will he kneel?"
That beauty is in the eye of the beholder goes without saying. A reminder may be needed, though, that meaning is in the ear of the listener. That's because words filtered through an inner universe of preconceived notions can wind up appallingly distorted. Americans judging the words of presidential impeachment witnesses must focus on firsthand facts and discard prejudiced opinions fashioned from the biases of President Trump's detractors.
